Deja vu And the Clones

In "Déjà vu All Over Again" Xena and Gabrielle are reincarnated. In "Soul Possession" Ares puts into Annie Day and Mattie Merrill into their correct bodies.

In "Send in the Clones" Xena and Gabrielle are cloned by Alti trying to make an Evil Xena.

What would happen if they met?

Meg

Follow up story to 'Deja vu And the Clones'. Harry (Joxer) believes the dreams he is having about Meg are really memories of her from ancient Greece. So he asks Annie and Mattie to try to find the woman she was reincarnated into.

Hercules

Follow up story to 'Meg'. Which was the sequel to 'Deja vu and the Clones'.

Hercules (using the name Kevin Sorbo) is in LA and runs into Xena, who takes him to see Annie, Mattie, Gabrielle, and Harry.

This story is based on three season six Xena episodes ('Send in the Clones', 'Déjà vu All Over Again', and 'Soul Possession'), and loosely on two Hercules episodes: S4 E15 - 'Yes, Virginia, There Is a Hercules', and S5 E9 - 'For Those of You Who Are Just Joining Us' [ in that Hercules apparently is immortal since those two episodes take place in modern times ].

Choices and Consequences

[In the very first episode of Xena - ''Sins of the Past'', Xena rescued Gabrielle and the women of Poteidaia from Draco's men. But what if she didn't?]

Reunion

Sequel to "Choices and Consequences".

After Xena and Gabrielle leave the camp of the slave traders Gabrielle was leading, under the influence of Ares, they go to Poteidaia so Gabrielle can reconnect with her parents. After a lengthy stay, they leave for Rome to try to find Lila, who was sold into slavery as Gabrielle was.

The Last Scroll

This, obviously, was not the last, the final, scroll Gabrielle wrote. She and Xena traveled together for several more years before that most unfortunate trip to Jappa. I suppose it could be called "The Lost Scroll" since, until recently, it was lost to history. But because it is the last one to be found, so far, I have decided to call it "The Last Scroll."

Ares Verses Thor or Mjölnir and The Chakram

Xena is Ares' Warrior Queen, and Gabrielle is at her right hand.

Ares’ army, led by Xena, has defeated the Romans in Gaul and Britannia, and most of barbarians in the Germanic lands to the east. But after hearing stories about the Golden Apples of Norse legend – similar to the Greek Ambrosia, Ares decides he wants them for his own. He and Xena are making plans to invade the northern lands so he can have them for his own, but she knows nothing about the apples.

Gods and Demigods

Sequel to 'Ares Versus Thor or Mjölnir and The Chakram'

Thor searches for a hero to aid in the struggle against an enemy that threatens the Northlands. He goes to Xena and Gabrielle, hoping they can help him find who he is seeking. But it is Ares who takes them to Hercules, who has gone mad after killing his wife and sons.

Resurrecting Xena

A continuation / sequel to 'Gods and Demigods.'

Using Gungnir, his mighty spear, Odin killed the Dahak-inhabited body of Xena, killing Dahak as well.

While Gabrielle was preparing Xena's body for burial in Amphipolis, Autolycus showed up, claiming that Xena was inside him. After proving to Gabrielle it was so, they have to find a way to put Xena's spirit back into her body before it is too late.

Call It Destiny

In the second season episode, 'Return of Callisto', Callisto kills Perdicus the morning after he and Gabrielle are married. But what if he was only wounded, and the newlyweds returned to Poteidaia, leaving Xena to chase after Callisto?

Destiny Calls

Follow up story to 'Call It Destiny'. Gabrielle has left Perdicus and Poteidaia to look for Xena. Xena goes to Poteidaia to visit Gabrielle, but when she discovers she is gone, she leaves to find her.

Xena: Roman Gladiator

This story is based on the FX series 'Spartacus'. It takes place in the ludis of Quitnas Batiatus in the city of Capua. The story contains sexual encounters between men and women, and between women and women, descriptive but not graphic. And, of course, bloody battles between Xena and her opponents.


Chapter One - Captured! -- Xena and Gabrielle are making their way from Rome to Greece after killing a Roman Centurion. They have the bad luck of being captured by a Roman detachment returning from a mission having nothing to do with the search for Xena and Gabrielle.


Chapter Two - Dominus and Domina -- Xena and Gabrielle are taken before Dominus Batiatus. He is immediately amazed at how much Xena resembles his wife Lucretia. He sends a house slave to fetch her. When she sees Xena she is equally amazed. Gabrielle is all but forgotten until Xena threatens Batiatus with death when he threatens harm to Gabrielle to keep Xena in line.


Chapter Three - As Slaves -- Gabrielle goes to the quarters of the house slaves and is instructed on her duties. Xena is taken to the gladiator quarters to be trained for the arena, where she meets the trainer, Doctore. The gladiators are told she is there to train, not for their pleasures. After one of them tests her, she shows them she is NOT there to be their whore.


Chapter Four - Gabrielle and Domina -- Gabrielle is ordered to come to Domina Lucretia's bedchamber, Lucretia is curious as to why she and Xena look so much alike, and which does Gabrielle find more attractive. And to her shock, Gabrielle discovers Lucretia has a very strong sexual appetite.


Chapter Five - Xena and the Gladiators -- Xena's first day of working with the Gladiators. Doctore knows who she really is. Batiatus, at Lucretia's suggestion, has Xena pitted against two of the best to see how good she really is. After toying with them for a while, Xena easily beats them.


Chapter Six - Amazonia, the Amazon Warrior -- The gladiators begin training in earnest for an upcoming Contest. Xena is given the name Amazonia, the Amazon Warrior, and would be using two swords rather than a sword and shield. -- Xena's first day of working with the Gladiators. Doctore knows who she really is. Batiatus, at Lucretia's suggestion, has Xena pitted against two of the best to see how good she really is. After toying with them for a while, Xena easily beats them.


Chapter Seven - Gabrielle and Marsa -- Marsa, a slave, is Lucretia's unofficial 'daughter'. When Lucretia finds out about a secret love affair between Marsa and a guard, Gabrielle is caught in the middle.


Chapter Eight - The Games -- Gladiators and slaves from Batiatus' ludis travel to a larger one for a more spectacular Exhibition than could be held in Batiatus' smaller arena. Xena -- 'Amazonia' is pitted against two opponents. Gabrielle is shocked and horrified at how brutal and savage Xena is.


Chapter Nine - Celebration -- There is a large celebration after Xena's victory. She is brought to the center of it to be put on exhibition. Seeing Gabrielle's look on her face, she doesn't understand why Gabrielle can't understand why she was the ferocious and merciless gladiator she had to be. Later, she whets her sexual needs with two of the gladiators, to her shame.


Chapter Ten Aftermath - -- Xena gradually recovers from her wounds. Gabrielle, still in shock at Xena's brutality in the arena, refuses to talk to the other house slaves about it. Cicerius offers Batiatus a large sum of money if he would sell Xena to him, something Batiatus seriously considers.


Chapter Eleven Xena and Gabrielle - -- TXena and Gabrielle are finally reunited, but separated by the steel lattice. Despite being shocked at Xena's post battle appearance, Gabrielle is still dismayed with Xena's actions in the arena. Unfortunately, their conversation doesn't go as Xena hoped, and it ends suddenly when Gabrielle runs back to her quarters.


Chapter Twelve - Back and Forth -- Thoughts and reactions about the possible sale of Xena to Cicerius - Gabrielle's, Xena's, Batiatus', Gabrielle again, and Lucretia's.


Chapter Thirteen - Another Challenge -- Cicerius sets another gladiatorial contest in just six days, expecting Batiatus to have Xena ready for the challenge. Xena and Gabrielle are allowed to travel together to Cicerius' ludis. Gabrielle is worried that that one day they will find an opponent for Xena who is big enough and strong enough to kill her.


Chapter Fourteen - In the House of Cicirius -- The gladiators ready for their bouts in Cicirius' arena . 'Amazonia' battles the largest man she has ever seen, outside of Goliath, Gareth and the Cyclops she blinded.

Xena and Gabrielle are allowed to spend two nights together as Xena's reward for defeating Gaulus the Destroyer. Xena tries to explain why she had to be so bloodthirsty in the arena.


Chapter Sixteen - A Not-Quite-So-Sweet Aftermath -- Lucretia was the one who sent Gabrielle to be with Xena. Lecretia is perplexed when her favorite sex slave, Hermes, confesses his love for her. Batiatus is unhappy about the Xena situation. Lucretia suggests that maybe he should just free her and Gabrielle.


Chapter Seventeen- Back to the House of Batiatus -- Expecting Xena to be sold, no one can explain why she is returning to the House of Batiatus. Gabrielle tries to find out why from the house slaves on the way back. Lucretia again suggests to Batiatus that he free Xena and Gabrielle, but he refuses when he realizes what he must do.


Chapter Eighteen - Away! -- Fearful of Batiatus ingratiating himself to a less and less popular Caesar by giving him Xena, Lucretia devises her own plan.

Safe And Sound Back Home In Greece

Sequel to "Xena: Roman Gladiator"


Chapter One - Going Home -- Xena and Gabrielle arrive in Napoli without running into any Roman soldiers. Xena negotiates passage home for her and Gabrielle on one of the ships, but not with coins, but by working as deck hands on the ship during the voyage back to Greece.

Chapter Four East to West. Then Back Again -- The sun comes out and the winds pick up. The ship lands at an abandoned village, abandoned because of a years-long drought, meaning no water. The ship's captain decides their only chance is to return back the way they came, hoping there will be no Roman warships to contend with. Gabrielle suggests a mutiny to stay the course.
